The Hinton-Jasper turn has an easy westbound trip today, with only 18 cars in tow. CN 5335 and 6010 provide the more than sufficient power.
The snow has all melted 5 hours later as L513 returns to Hinton behind GTW 5950 and CN 2031.
Snow in the beginning of September?! Still wearing its former owner's colours, CN C40-8 2031 and GTW SD40-3 5950 lead train L513 onto the north track at a very wintery looking Park Gate.
The Hinton-Jasper turn pulls into track 5 at Jasper behind CN SD40u 6011 and CN SD40-2W 5246. Making the consist even more old school is CN caboose 79923.
